What happened: Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski participated in the MLB Red Carpet Show presented by Mastercard on Tuesday ahead of the All-Star Game. During the televised broadcast, the pitcher revealed the custom interior lining of his all-black suit while addressing his first-half performance with analysts.
Why it matters: His first-half dominance has anchored the Milwaukee rotation and placed him among the National League's top starting pitchers, including when Philadelphia's Cristopher Sánchez edged Misiorowski for NL Pitcher of the Month honors in June. The red carpet appearance highlights his rapid emergence from top prospect to frontline rotation anchor during the 2026 regular season.
By the numbers: On May 9, 2026, Misiorowski clocked a 103.6 mph fastball against the New York Yankees to establish a Statcast-era velocity record for starting pitchers. On June 13, 2026, the right-hander reached 105 mph to set an MLB velocity mark.
What to watch: Misiorowski and the Brewers will resume their 2026 regular-season schedule following the All-Star break. Milwaukee's rotation will rely on the right-hander to maintain his elite velocity and strikeout production during the second-half playoff push.
